Very roughly I mean.

DVD sales / rentals versus VHS in the Adult market. Say last year, or first half of 2001.

Is it 10%, 30%, , 40%, 5% -- that sort of thing.

I tried a few google searches and struck out. No doubt if I put enough effort and time into it I could web collect the number. But I bet some of you regulars here have a pretty fair ROUGH idea off the top of your head.

No need for precision -- I'm sure it's a fast climbing number anyway.

But I'd like to get some sort of sense of the weight of the DVD market right now.

Of course it's also an opportunity for companies to resell titles from yesteryear that would only move more slowly in the original format once they're a couple of years old.

(My guess is that DVD is a much larger part of the home ownership market than the rental market, BTW.)

When we release a VHS and DVD on the same day, the DVD accounts for about 20-30% of the initial sales.

Hmmm well since AVN didn't put out a guide for 2001 (anyone know why that is??) I am not sure it is possible to even get a rough guess on that since no one really tracks it. Especially since from what I have seen the majority of DVD sales happens over the internet (if my local store prices are any indication).

Just the info I was looking for Tricia. Thanks!

BTW, just thought you should know. I've just fallen in love with you.

First I read your interview here and on the linked vendor site. Then I went to your web page. Then I had delivered "Bad Wives" and "Week and a Half in the Life of a Whore". Damn, you're adorably hot!!! Only trouble with those DVD's was -- there should have been more of you. MUCH more. So I'm fixing that ...

Aside from having a hot body and a very cute face, you exude this "intelligent good girl just going bad, VERY BAD" (i.e. sex abandoned) thing which is utterly adorable, and uttery HOT, HOT, HOT!!!

You also seem like you're very loyal in your own kind of way.

Very jealous of John Stagliano. Good choice though.

All the best.

One quibble Diesel.

You refer to Tricia as a combination sex hottie, and "girl-next-door type" here.

Naaaah!! On many counts few of us would have such next door. But might have run into such.

I think of Tricia as a smartgirl hottie who I played with and maybe went with for a while in college, who was as smart as me (yeah I know she got into and went to med school for a while, but I went to a top law school ya see) and was oh-so-fun-in-bed ... but somehow got away ... (regrets, regrets).

AND LOOK AT HER NOW!!!

That's how I think of Tricia.
